Battle results! Best fried chicken battle: Brampton vs. Mississauga

Have you been in the mood for some great fried chicken and haven’t been quite sure where to go to get it?

Have you been in the mood for some great fried chicken and haven’t been quite sure where to go to get it? Since there is no shortage of selection in the GTHA, the choice as to where to dine can be a tough one—especially when great fried chicken restaurants are plentiful across cities.

When it comes to great fried chicken, every ingredient counts. Is the skin crispy and crunchy in all the right places? Is the chicken tender and cooked to perfection? Is the sauce—if there is any—absolutely delicious?

Both Mississauga and Brampton are known for their respective food scenes, and both offer a ton of excellent fried chicken joints—but only one city can have the absolute best hotspots.
